Packers v Jaguars Discussion

[Fritz]

You probably couldn't have a better opponent for adjusting to a major loss on defense.

Jags are 32nd in terms of total offense, points per game, and third down efficiency. They're 30th in terms of red zone offense.

Is BJ Raji not playing again?

No, seriously, though, is a coach more tempted to keep an injured guy out against an inferior team as opposed to putting him back in? That is, does MM rest Jennings, Raji, et al another week, hoping he can get by without them and give them an extra week of rest?

Shaun Hill is a fine QB. In a lot of ways, he outperformed Stafford in 2010. He doesn't have the same physical skill set, but he's a meticulously disciplined QB, with an excellent understanding of the game. He could be a starter on a solid team. Jags backup Henne did beat the Packers in 2010, though, so he might be more of a challenge than Gabbert! Funny thing is Jags play better on the road than at home so far - like the Giants, except overall much more suckier. But it's hard to imagine the Packers screwing this one up. Three TD win.

If the Packers underestimate the Jaguars, they will lose. Never underestimate the power of an underdog.

It is important that the Packers not underestimate an underdog opponent. We, on the other hand, have no such restrictions.

Packers 48
Jaguars 10

Raji did not practice today.

Wow....now this is a blast from the past.

If we don't win by 20+ I will be disappointed

After the implosion in Indy I have a hard time believing this team will take ANYBODY lightly.

IF the Pack underestimates the Jags it will be a close game in the first half -- with a couple Packer turnovers -- before they get their head out of their ass at halftime and come out and do what they do. These guys aren't the Colts, they don't have Andrew Luck somehow avoiding Clay Matthews tugging on him before hitting Reggie Freakin Wayne on Steroids. Just too much talent on our side of the ball and none on theirs.

[smuggler]

TBH, their defense isn't bad. It's just that the offense is so horrible that the defense gets exposed by fatigue pretty frequently.

Blow out. Finally a line -- 15.5 plus. No moneyline for the Packers.

[Fritz]

Would it be tempting to build a really conservative game plan just so your team can get some "practice" running the ball against an inferior opponent? I suppose that's just tempting the gods, but wouldn't it be nice to have a game in which your team can work on its weaknesses and still win pretty handily?

I think, despite the fact this is a passing league, that the Packers are going to need to run the ball better to get into the playoffs and do some damage there. They need to figure out what works best for Alex Green, Green needs the reps, and the offensive line, too, needs to learn to run block better. Would it be tempting to try to accomplish some of that in a game, where the learning would be quicker and more "real" than practice?

Yeah, good stuff. You know... bulletin board material and all that, but I'm not as down on him as most. He is what he is. Top 10 TE in the league IMO. Brings energy, seems to really care. Just not very bright.
